We present the robotic harvest of a pedicled omentum flap for reconstruction of a near-total anterior chest wall defect. The patient was a 68-year-old woman with recurrent secondary chest wall angiosarcoma after previous mastectomy and radiation therapy. She underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, followed by wide radical chest wall resection with a final defect size of 15×35 cm. A one-stage reconstruction was performed with an omentum flap harvested by robotic technique and split-thickness skin grafts from thigh donor sites. The patient healed with minimal complications. Our case supports more widespread application of robotics in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
